why now?
why not now? if the universe gave you the power to choose when the "bad thing" happens, exactly when would YOU pick?
i don't believe any power greater TESTS our sobriety.
i think we already make it hard enough without any outside help!
LIFE happens. to everyone. regardless of whether they are four days sober, or just had their 103rd birthday on earth.
it's just a thing. the next indicated thing. you and your wife will find a way through and it's possible it could be quite magical on the other side.
